Written with the best practices, this book will help you master Kotlin and use its powerful language features, libraries, tools, and APIs to elevate your Android apps. As you progress, you'll use Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 to build UIs for your app, explore how to architect and improve your app architecture, and use Jetpack Libraries like Room and DataStore to persist your data locally.

Great book to accelerate your learnings in Kotlin Android development.

Amazon Verified review

ProBuyer Oct 03, 2024

I rarely find the time to read a book cover-to-cover but I made time to read this entire book. This is the perfect book to get you quickly up to speed on the latest Kotlin/Android topics, especially Jetpack Compose. It hits on every topic you would need to know to be a great Android developer using the latest Android frameworks and tools. I found it best to reference the official Android documentation while reading this book to dive deeper into certain topics as there is no way to fit all that information into one book. I definitely recommend this book!

Amazon Customer May 15, 2024

This book contains anything needed for developers who are looking to learn or advance their development skill by reading or applying what they are learning. I have been a developer for more than 10 years and I can assure you that if a new person or a developer with experience reads and applies the knowledge found from this book, they will be able to get in line with the latest technology developers are using in the field the moment I posted this comment.This is a good book to read. I like to follow the reading and while I read I also apply what I get from the reading just as it. Developers can do the same with this book and later apply the knowledge to their real life project.

This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to advance their Android development skills. Its thorough coverage of Kotlin, combined with the practical application of Jetpack libraries, makes it a must-read for developers aiming to stay current with the latest trends and technologies in Android development. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, this book offers valuable insights and techniques that will help you build powerful and sophisticated Android apps. Highly recommend for everyone.

Very thorough tour of the tooling required to bring an Android-based Compose application from common architecture patterns to testing to publishing in the Play store.For iOS developers coming to produce KMP applications, this is a useful book to give an idea of how most Android devs handle the various tasks to bring an app to market.
